Unfortunately Marty P, we can't turn back the evolutionary tide of language.
It might sound horrible to make vulnrable into vunerable. But then to some it may have sounded wrong to make colonel into "kernel", or lieutenant into "lefftenant".
What about Wednesday, or is it "Wensday", and sadly I think that the library will certainly become the "lybree".
Of course it is entirely understandable that in the uncouth world of Saterdy arvo sport, cricket has become " crigget " , football has become "foopbor" or " foody " ( rhymes with woody as in Woody Woodpecker ) I just pray with great fervour and supplication that ask will never be established as " arx "
